The last time Bon Jovi played Pittsburgh was on February 12, 2011. The setlist contained 3 surprises; Just Older as an opener, the first performance of The More Things Change and the first and what would turn out only live rendition of This Is Love, This Is Life in the encore.

2 graphs showcasing the order of album and single tracks. A peak indicates the chart position in the Billboard Hot 100, thus a crowd possibly knowing such a song. The more peaks, the more familiar a crowd is with the entire set. In case no peak is noted the song either didn't chart or wasn't released as a single.

The first graph is of this show, the second one is of the previous time Bon Jovi played Pittsburgh:


Songs played per album:


Salaam Aleikum,

It's funny you mention This is Love, This is Life. I was just thinking about how non-die hards don't know this song. They should play it live and people might think it's on the new album and buy it.

Says Richie: "Yo Pittsburg... Hey man I gotta bad cold man but leave everything I got up there for ya..."

It's weird how fast they dropped all the Greatest Hits songs.

Yeah I posted that a few PBPs back. Wouldn't call it weird though, I don't think anyone cared about them.

Poor old Pittsburgh. Hopefully Jon wasn't sleeping too close to Richie.

I'd like to hear The More Things Change, sounded pretty good live. Not like No Apologies or TILTIL.

I'd like for them to NOT play terrible songs. Considering in my book there's only about 40 bad Bon Jovi songs and yet they manage to play almost 20 of them at every gig baffles me.

So true. I believe that Jon's voice is the main issue this band has had, it affected everything.

Yeah, they should kick him out, Richie should take lead vocals and they should bring back Phil X as lead guitar. Then we could call the band Bon Richie or Rich Jovi.
